People Are More Likely To Choose News That Matches Their Beliefs

 A recent study published in Communication Research reveals a troubling trend in news consumption: individuals often seek information that aligns with their existing beliefs. This behavior, termed “selective listening,” is particularly pronounced in the United States, where political polarization continues to deepen, The Debrief reports.

In an era of virtually unlimited access to information, one might assume that readers would naturally encounter a diverse range of perspectives, including those that challenge their viewpoints. However, research led by Tetsuro Kobayashi, a professor at Waseda University, suggests that this expectation remains unfulfilled for many Americans.

Kobayashi and his team examined news consumption habits in the United States, Japan, and Hong Kong, uncovering stark differences. The study found that Americans are far more likely to select news that reinforces their political views, whereas individuals in Japan and Hong Kong demonstrate greater openness to contrasting opinions....<<<Read More>>>...

Suppressed Core Belief Syndrome

 Very few of us are born with our core beliefs active in our consciousness. Core beliefs may not be there at all. Core beliefs are what we classify as 'beliefs that you had prior to this incarnation; beliefs that are the physical manifestations created from the higher wisdom of your true self'.

The majority of us are force fed a belief system as we travel along the conveyor belt of human life. We are indoctrinated and brainwashed into religious and spiritual beliefs. Beliefs we are highly unlikely to choose freely if we had not been subjected to the subliminal conditioning that exists in this virtual life.

The 'Hidden Hand' do not want us to be free thinkers. They do not wish us to remember or realise our core beliefs. That would be a dangerous occurrence because it means we would see through the deceptions and distractions they have so carefully created down through the ages. Core beliefs are the wisdom and understandings that your true self carries in its vibration. When you truly connect with your higher spirit, those dynamic realisations will begin to surface in your consciousness. Those realisations are likely to shape your life in a totally different sound vibration structure to the one that The Hidden Hand wishes.

Automatically your vibration is higher than the frequencies they wish to contain the spirit energies in. This will have several distinct advantages, which we are not prepared to divulge here. Needless to say your spirit DNA is somehow able to override the damage being imposed on the soul DNA which enhances your life force. Somehow.

So how do you know if you have truly connected with your Higher Spirit and have absorbed its core beliefs? The answer is simple. You just know. It happens and the effect on your life is dynamic. Your plight becomes almost hermit-like, as you withdraw from those on vibrations now lower than yourself. Its easier and safer to be reclusive. Again, for reasons we are not prepared to divulge here.

Needless to say, when you are awakened to your core beliefs, you suddenly wise up to what is happening on this virtual world. It essentially opens up your eyes ... and you then see the wood for the trees. You then comprehend what we term the 'Suppressed Core Belief Syndrome' that the majority of mankind suffers from.

Why It’s Worth Off-Ramping From Spiritual Bypassing

 Spiritual bypassing, a phrase coined by John Welwood and defined as a kind of spiritualized conflict avoidance that demonizes certain natural emotions like anger and can cause us to bypass our need for healing trauma, our activism, and our pain, runs rampant in spiritual and religious circles. It can make us feel good, even ecstatic, but just like any drug, the “hit” is temporary and the crash after the high can be catastrophic.

Some people bypass by meditating- first for a short amount, then increasingly escaping the world with more and more and more meditating. Some bypass by comforting themselves with positive thinking or spiritual teachings that deny and bypass more painful emotions, like grief, despair, anger, jealousy, helplessness, worthlessness, or shame. Some bypass the pain of reality with spiritual fantasies of utopia or benevolent aliens or angelic beings (not that there aren’t life forms in other star systems or beings we can’t see, just that we can get so caught up in imagining such beings that we fail to face the pain of reality on this planet.)

Some bypass by resolving uncomfortable cognitive dissonance with overly simplistic kinds of false certainty. For example, if it’s too uncomfortable to hold the paradox of a great darkening upon our potentially endangered species in contrast to an age of greater awareness of such darkness, we might simplify things into believing a delusion of a Great Awakening that will take us into the 5D and leave the darkness behind in the 3D....<<<Read More>>>...

Toxic Core Beliefs: Ways to Transmute Them

[Wake Up World]: When you first dig up the festering mess of your core beliefs from the depths of your being you’ll likely experience one of three emotions: excitement, confusion, or grief – or all three at once.

As one of the most fundamental practices on the inner journey of spiritual awakening, uncovering our toxic core beliefs is definitely not a clean or sanitary path.

But it is vital.

We ALL carry our own devilish assortment of toxic core beliefs that eat away at our sanity on either a conscious or unconscious level. Typically, they influence every level of our being.

To effectively develop self-love, open our hearts to others, and experience the inner peace of Soul-embodiment, we need to turn inwards. We need to illuminate the darkness. Going in search of your core beliefs is one of the most essential paths for true and deep healing because it goes to the center of your suffering.

Our core beliefs are the unconscious stories, convictions, and judgments we carry about ourselves that define our sense of self. Core beliefs also determine how we feel about others, how happy we are with ourselves, and how we perceive the world at large. Our core beliefs are even responsible for how successful we are in self-actualizing our deepest dreams and uncovering our personal meaning of life. In short, our core beliefs influence every aspect of our lives. Typically, our core beliefs first developed in childhood and solidify in adulthood....<<<Read More>>>...

Fortress of Thoughtitude - No Uncomfortable Truths Allowed

We all have belief systems, maps to reality that inform our perspectives and help us form the bedrock values we have about ourselves, others, and the world at large. This means thoughts on everything from religion and politics to how we interact with friends, and the specific truths about reality we have come to know and adapted to in our everyday lives. But when it comes to taking in new facts, what are the psychological and emotional processes involved in bringing ourselves to a higher or more constructive “place” with this new information? And how does the weaker part of our character seek to stifle new information in its desire to “be right” and remain “comfortable”?

Embodied Spirituality: The Truth Shall Set You Free

Collective Evolution: Because we humans have evolved to stick to our beliefs, even though many of them are false. We, in fact, experience a dopamine rush (a feel-good neurotransmitter in our brains) when we affirm our beliefs, even if they are wrong.

So, confronting false beliefs about ourselves and the world means we have to endure some degree of feeling badly, some emotional turmoil, cognitive dissonance, and reorientation of my world. When we challenge many of our false beliefs, we encounter nothing short of transformation on all levels. Sounds like a bona fide spiritual path to me....read more>>>...

Consciousness: A battle between your beliefs and perceptions?

S.O.T.T: Imagine you're at a magic show, in which the performer suddenly vanishes. Of course, you ultimately know that the person is probably just hiding somewhere. Yet it continues to look as if the person has disappeared. We can't reason away that appearance, no matter what logic dictates. Why are our conscious experiences so stubborn?

The fact that our perception of the world appears to be so intransigent, however much we might reflect on it, tells us something unique about how our brains are wired. Compare the magician scenario with how we usually process information. Say you have five friends who tell you it's raining outside, and one weather website indicating that it isn't. You'd probably just consider the website to be wrong and write it off. But when it comes to conscious perception, there seems to be something strangely persistent about what we see, hear and feel. Even when a perceptual experience is clearly 'wrong', we can't just mute it.

Why is that so? Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) shed new light on this puzzle. In computer science, we know that neural networks for pattern-recognition - so-called deep learning models - can benefit from a process known as predictive coding. Instead of just taking in information passively, from the bottom up, networks can make top-down hypotheses about the world, to be tested against observations. They generally work better this way. When a neural network identifies a cat, for example, it first develops a model that allows it to predict or imagine what a cat looks like. It can then examine any incoming data that arrives to see whether or not it fits that expectation...read more>>>...

How to Reconnect with Source Energy

Wake Up World: Sometimes it’s really hard to be human and to try to stay positive all the time. So much of our suffering in this world comes simply from the fact that many of us have lost our connection with that greater, loving energy that is within and that binds all of us. This is Divine Source energy, more commonly known as God, or simply just infinite love. Feel free to use whatever term with which you are most comfortable.

Life is a mystery. And this mystery is that Divine Source energy. We each carry pieces of this Source energy within us. As it feels so out of our grasp, it carries the essence of mystery and not being real. When we tap into the love and the co-creative powers that lie within us, we can learn to embody that sense of wonder that is the essence of this energy. And that sense of wonder leads to deep curiosity and experiencing life fully, with a sense of joy, purity and oneness with all that is...read more>>>...

The Hermit Stage

When the presence of True Self and its dynamic awareness interfaces with the conscious mind field, true magic happens. It creates an intense sensitivity to life and existence in general.

Core beliefs greatly differ to what the conscious mind perceives as a belief system. Human nature encourages 'prove it to me and I will believe it' but with core beliefs active there is no need to prove anything as the conscious awareness is of knowing it is there and that it practices work.

There is sadness too; as the human being steps back from pathways it was familiar with; onto pathways it once walked before human belief systems were forced on it. These pathways are challenging in nature to the human being; but second nature and well walked by the awareness of the true self. Life is no longer the same, for when the human being is in the 'hermit' stage, the core belief vibrations repel anyone and everyone who fail to match the vibration of consciousness existing around the spiritual energy that is encompassing the human being.  Only those close to that vibration will be around the reclusive human being. And it will be a difficult time adjusting to life with a new set of perceptive parameters. But over time the reclusive human will integrate again.

But only once balance is restored after such a mighty transition in its life. The needs it had before are no more. Its attention is drawn back to the inner planes ... and the open doors to the multi dimensions of self.

Suppressed Core Belief Syndrome

Very few of us are born with our core beliefs active in our consciousness. Core beliefs may not be there at all. Core beliefs are what we classify as 'beliefs that you had prior to this incarnation; beliefs that are the physical manifestations created from the higher wisdom of your true self'.

The Discovery Of Core Beliefs

Humans are constantly bombarded with how they are meant to think; how they are supposed to look; how they are supposed to live; how they are meant to react to life situations. It's all about being told who you are. It is not about self discovery.

Core beliefs are sadly lost in this onslaught; a hurricane force wind that can blow right through a human life; meaning that the average human is never themselves; they never believe what they came into this virtual reality to believe. They spend these lives under the directive of perspectives that are planted in their conscious minds since they were an early child. That is the fact of living on this virtual world.

If we were to ask you to write down on a piece of paper, right now, three of your core beliefs, we bet the majority couldn't. 

Core beliefs are not adopted belief systems ... they are not conspiracy theories ... they are what your spirit knows to be FACTS. Facts that are inherent in your DNA and will over-ride the adopted belief systems. The core beliefs will have made you question your life on virtual earth for most of your life. Core beliefs will not let you hang on to adopted belief systems that don't work!

The only possible way to know what your core beliefs are is to connect totally 100% with your True Self, your spirit that exists beyond this fake world. Guides and ascended beings are figments of the mind and CANNOT tell you what your core beliefs are. If something tells you it knows what your core beliefs are then you are about to let an illusion make you dependent on it!

Core Beliefs do not come in the form of voices or visions or figments of imagination. They are CORE meaning they are what you are and what you represent. They can only be found by destroying the false self totally and then working with what lies beyond those many layered illusions. Nothing to do with 'SOUL' is core belief ... and the way the frequencies are on this virtual world at the moment, it is nigh on impossible to break through the many layered illusions. So much bullshit exists out there ... and it is designed to keep you away from discovering self. 

The discovery occurs when you explore beyond the adopted false self/soul identity and you connect with the Spirit that observes the life you are fooled into thinking is you.

Never Shall The Twain Meet

There are those who 'ride the waves' main stream; putting themselves at the centre of focus and bringing attention and publicity to themselves. They bear glossy titles; make extravagant claims; have expensive merchandise; an interactive website and an extensive presence on social media.

They make a point of being at the so called 'forefront of it all' and seemingly dazzle the general public with their glamours and their egocentric presence.

Then there are those who work from within the shadows; who withdraw from the so called 'centre stage' and ride the waves in their own way. Innocuous and seemingly forgotten. No attention is drawn to the work they do; nor do they announce where they are; what they are and what they are up to. They have no need. They are purveyors of their arts and they don't need any acknowledgement for that. They choose to be ... and have no need for adoration or approval or whatever else those who are at the centre of focus need from that stance. 

Their work goes on without criticism or distraction. Simply because those that once opposed them no longer can determine what they are doing; and neither can the copycats replicate what they are doing. They are at peace in their own space, as who they are, without the jealous or the envious conspiring against them.

Never shall the twain meet ... for the energies of both polarities are in separate realities. Both co-exist on this earth plane. But their paths are now mutually exclusive. Those of 'the glossy titles' cast onto avenues where 'the willingly hidden' will never venture. And vice versa. Both catering for different types of 'souls'.

Believing Is Everything

Personal belief systems are without doubt an integral part of observing an existence on planet earth. They are what keep human beings going; we have to believe in something - 'we're gonna become rich on the lotto'; 'we're gonna buy that big house'; 'the bad man ain't coming knocking at my door'; whatever we believe in; it is important.

Because what we believe in shapes the life we lead, it creates a future which becomes our now, then quick as a flash it is our past ... but is does our now live up to the billing we planned in our past? This really depends on whether it is your own belief system; whether it is an adopted belief system from someone else; and how much you believe.

In this virtual electronic realm, believing is everything; beliefs shape the perceptions which create the thoughts that write the life around us. Having beliefs based on fear and oppression, generally create a life of struggle, shame and negative emotions. Whereas, a belief that is based on self awareness, P.M.A, and understanding of the true nature of self; is likely to create the future we can depend on for good health and good well being. This future does not have to be based around the biggest car, the biggest pay cheque and the biggest house. It should be based on a healthy mind, body and spirit.

Beliefs are a powerful thing; I will share a recent experience, or experiences with you, that are a perfect example of the effect of a positive belief and a negative belief. Recently I started playing 9 Ball Pool on my Iphone. Around a week ago I started, and because I had no expectations I had a win rate of 70%+ ... I was winning 10 or more games on the trot, and I thought I was invincible. I went into each game with a positive belief. Then, I began losing a few games here and there, and my win rate began to fall. It went down to about 67% at the beginning of this week; and for some reason I adopted a negative belief - I was convinced I couldn't win games anymore, and I began potting the black too early and losing the game. I began losing to lousy players, though I was so much more skillful than them. The negative belief has persisted and here I am a week on with a win rate of 60.3%. I've only won about 10 games out of the last 30 and its because of the negative belief I can't win games. Tonight, I changed my tune and adapted a more positive way of thinking, and currently have a winning streak of 4 games. Hopefully this illustrates how belief systems can influence the outcome in our lives.

Of course, we can have belief systems that are not our own, and have our thought processes controlled by others; in these cases (And it is true for the vast majority on this planet) the life being led it not the one that are inner core beliefs set out for us ... the million dollar question is how to break this control and gain the upper hand in our lives. Until this happens, we all lead lives which is effectively slavery. 

What Are Your True Core Beliefs?

HEY YOU! You really should be reading this. Where did you get your beliefs from? Have they been with you since birth, inherent within you from your True Self/Spirit? Or have they been adopted during this lifetime? If it is the latter then you are likely to have fallen prey to the LOWER AEON MYTHS that are creating the false perceptions that are causing the chaos in this life.

Beliefs form our perceptions. Perceptions manifest reality. False beliefs manifest a false reality. The majority on this planet are ruled by false beliefs formed by the administrators of this holographic reality to ensnare everyone in their recycling process.

Most people will not be able to remember their core beliefs. That which they believed in PRIOR to the brainwashing program which is education. Most people adopt the beliefs of their parents, friends or peers, without every realising the con trick being played.

So what you need to do for yourself is to spend a few moments analysing your beliefs and recognising, truthfully and without the false ego controlling your thought processes, what are adopted beliefs and what are inherent beliefs. Your true core beliefs are what you have retained as an INFINITE AWARENESS (Spirit) and not as a PROGRAMMED AWARENESS (Soul) ... the beliefs of the soul are likely to have been influenced by the programmed responses the algorithms that pull your strings dictate. Beliefs of the soul are likely to change throughout a life time, or life times. Whereas core beliefs of the spirit always stay the same - Matthew James
